Bengaluru girl Asha Bhat won the Miss Supranational 2014, the first Indian girl to have won this prestigious international beauty pageant, defeating 73 countries. It, thus, comes as no surprise that she has topped the list of Bangalore Times Most Desirable Women of 2014 (Bengaluru girls who are working in the city and/or are a part of the Kannada film industry). The numerous votes received online on www.itimes.com/polls, along with our vote, decided the winners. Excerpts from a conversation with Asha.

Q. How does it feel to be the Bangalore Times Most Desirable Woman of 2014? A. It feels great to be called the most desirable. I always used to see that in the newspapers. Now, to see myself being called the most desirable in Bengaluru is simply unbelievable.

Q. What, according to you, is most desirable about you?A. I am in the process of figuring it out. Though, wherever I have travelled for pageants, I was complimented for my down-to-earth nature and my smile. If that is what people like about me, then I am the happiest, because beauty can change over time, but one’s personality stays.

A. I admire my mother and sister the most. These two women are superwomen, and I call my family my AAA battery that keeps me charged — AAA being Appa, Amma and Akka. In showbiz, I admire Kajol.

Q. You are an international pageant winner. Did you grow up watching pageants?

A. Whenever we knew that the Miss India pageant would be telecast on a particular date, we would watch it together as a family. I remember watching Priyanka Chopra being crowned Miss World in 2000. I was a kid back then. Recently, I watched the 2013 and 2014 pageants and I never thought I would be on television winning Miss Diva the same year.
